Euodia hylandii, commonly known as dwarf euodia, is a shrub or small tree in the citrus family Rutaceae. It is endemic to northeastern Queensland, Australia, and inhabits the understorey of well developed rainforest. The range extends from Kutini-Payamu National Park to the Daintree River, and from the sea level to 550 m (1,800 ft). It was first described by the American botanist Thomas Gordon Hartley in 2001. Crushed leaves are said to resemble the scent of ants in the Iridomyrmex group.[4][5] The plant is named in honour of the botanist Bernard Hyland.
